Poloski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 44,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Pixed manufacturing overhead Variable selling expense Fixed selling expense Total cont Unit S20 10 3 9 4 6 $ 52 Total $ B80,000 440,000 232,000 396,000 176,000 264,000 $2,280,000 The Rets normally sell for $57 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $396,000 per year within the range of 37,000 through 44,000 Rets per year. Required: 1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 37,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 7.000 Rets Poloski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 7.000 units. This machine would cost $14.000. Polaskl Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) 2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polski Company expects to sell only 37,000 Rots through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 7,000 Rets. The Army would reimburse Poloski for all of the variable and fixed production costs assigned to the units by the company's absorption costing system, plus it would pay an additional fee of $1.20 per unit. Because the army would plek up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order? 3. Assume the same situation es described in (2) above, except that the company expects to noll 44,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 7,000 Rets. Given this new information, what Is the financial advantage (disadvantage of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?
